| Adopted | 5 September 1996 |
| Design | The red bottom and the white stripe with the coat of arms on the center of the white field. |
The red bottom is 1/3 of the total height and the white stripe is 2/3 of the total height. In the center of the white field is the coat of arms, a blue shield displaying 3 fish arranged in a "Y" Shape with a golden crown as its helm. The coat of arms is surrounded by branches of golden oak and laurel bound together with golden ribbon. The older flag of Saratov Oblast was practically the same as the current flag, apart from a redesign of the oak laurel, which reduced the amount of shading.
